    Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone can reccomend some shops which sell dresses in longer lengths?

    The last few years I've found it nearly impossible to find anything that will meet my knee, even though i'm only 5 ft 9 or 10! It's really ridiculous as i'm not even that tall and I'm sure a fair chunk of the population don't have the thighs to be comfortable flaunting about in all these skimpy little skirts!

    I'm looking for vintagey tea dresses, floral prints, peter pan collars etc.. just need to update my day wear stuff a bit for Autumn so cottons, viscose etc nothing too smart!

    I'm loving the new A wear collection but again, nearly all very short in the skirts :( Any ideas?

    Hi.
    I'm 6ft so many a coveted beautiful dress has had to be left unbought due to being indecent on me!
    I've found warehouse have been doing a good few 'midi' length dresses lately. Designed to sit mid calf on small/average sized people but knee length on me.
    Also if you search on asos.com for midi dresses there is many options on there. They give decent size guides & give the height/size of model wearing the dress to help you gauge length/size & delivery is free.
    It's an eternal search for me to get nice decent length dresses. If you come across any on ur search let me know.

    I'm nearly 5'11 and have similar problems. Used to love Zara, but of late every dress has been a little too crotch skimming for comfort! Found some good knee length dresses relatively inexpensively in Monsoon's sale over the summer so perhaps check them out.
